We just heard that our friend Bruce Hanson has some of his lovely pottery pieces there too! Such lovely pieces from a talented local artist!

Located at 8 West Bank Street in Olde Towne Petersburg, this great shop is owned by the same lovely family that owns the Dixie Restaurant, home of the famous Dixie Dog!! You may recognize the building if you're local! It's the former home of Second Hand Rose, next to the "pool place" and across from Longstreet's Deli! Honestly, this is my favorite building in Petersburg!

So, when you're trying to find those last minute gifts think and shop local! Right here in Petersburg! Then, swing by for lunch at the Dixie!

On Saturday we participated in the Richmond Craft Mafia's Handmade Holiday Craft Show! We arrived and setup was smooth and organized! I was so grateful to have Dynamo with me! Without him I would be lost!

What an awesome experience! This show really isn't your Grandma's craft show!

It really is amazing to see all of the unique creativity that fills the room at these events! From re-purposing to screenprinting to baby clothes and toys to handmade journals and scarves and beyond!!

My neighbor made wallets and pouches from recycled bike tires! She also made cycling caps! Super cool! She also has two Boston Terriers and a Boxer!

More good stuff!

The event was held at Richmond's Dogtown Dance Theatre! This venue isn't really on the beaten path, but boy did the crowds show up! And, they shopped and shopped! We were busy from start to end! I think it was this busy all day!

We can't thank all of you enough for your support and encouragement at this event and all throughout the year! Thank you so much for being loyal and believing in our products! And, thank you for shopping local this holiday season!

About Me

I'm an artist (so I claim), a wife (try hard to be a great one), a mother (to my fur-child), a gardener (love to get my hands dirty), a papercrafter (love all things paper), a sewer (still learning), a soapmaker, and a mountain biker (in the process). I have tons of interests and couldn't narrow it down to blog about one thing in particular, so I decided to blog about everything I love. My life is GREAT! I love my husband, my dynamo (Jeff), with all my heart. He makes me a better person everyday. Our trusty steed, Lexi (a Boston Terrier), who this blog was named after, passed away at 10.5 years old in February, 2012. We brought home Charlie, a Boston Terrier, now 5 years old, in March of 2012. He's the light of our lives and we are so blessed. There's so little time and so much to learn and do. Posted on this site are my adventures and I want to share them with you! I hope you'll stick around to see what my life is all about! Thanks for visiting!
